According to NBCNews.com, the on-time percentage has increased from the 74.8 percent the airline industry amassed in June 2015, but still down from the 83 percent on-time rate from May 2016. Any flight that lands within 14 minutes of its scheduled arrival time is considered on time.

In terms of complaints from passengers, there were 1,492 filed in June, which was down from the 2,048 filed during the same month last year. The June numbers were an increase from the 1,134 complaints received in May of this year, though.

Some of the top causes for delays were late-arriving aircraft, aviation system issues, maintenance or crew problems and extreme weather.
